cover gue: Generalize remote checksum offload

The remote checksum offload is generalized by creating a common function (remcsum_adjust) that does the work of modifying the checksum in remote checksum offload. This function can be called from normal or GRO path. GUE was modified to use this function.

Remote checksum offload is described in
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-remotecsumoffload-01

Tested by running 200 TCP_STREAM connections over GUE, did not see any problems with remote checksum offload enabled.

PATCH 1/2 net: Add remcsum_adjust as common function for remote checksum offload

This function does the work to update a checksum field as part of remote checksum offload.

remcsum_adjust does the following:

1) Subtract out the calculated checksum from the beginning of the packet (ptr arg) to the start offset.
2) Adjust the checksum field indicated by offset based on the modified checksum value from above step.
3) Return the difference in the old checksum field value and the new one. The caller will use this to update skb->csum and NAPI csum.

PATCH 2/2 gue: Call remcsum_adjust

In reply to Tom Herbert

Change remote checksum offload to call remcsum_adjust. This also eliminates the optimization to skip an IP header as part of the adjustment (really does not seem to be much of a win).
